tonight to night on the subject of saturdays batur Satur dayes dayIs dismissals by president arthur it Is an effort on the tho part of the government to terrorize the jury I 1 believe bellevo marshal marshai henry as conist a man as ever eves lived ha hanover never neven did the slightest favor to the defend defendants nuth aute he simply did his duty no more no less the reason they want him out oat is that they want bome come one in who will do more than his duty they want to get absolute control of the jury I 1 never dreamed that ainger or parken parker were either friends or enemies of the defendants thebe these men have been cut down wit vit without houta a hearing nothing could ba be more unjust nothing more infamous has been done in the tha history of tho the country the idea that a city officer cannot give his opinion of the innocence of a party without being prosecuted by the government to his removal ia Is simply horrible their idea is every officer is a dog that can be hissed on any defendant by the attorney general the doctrine as s too contemptible to find lodgment in the brain of any decent man I 1 have not read the letters of attorney general brewster and rind mr bliss and dont donit intend to I 1 know there a word of truth in them and I 1 dont caro care to take up my time in reading s not so it has been talked that the marshal would bo be removed and that evo eve everybody who does not think the most wonderful of men would follow him I 1 believe ainger and parker parken were removed because they are lire honest men the department of has grown desperate elnko its paid agents have been convicted of trying to bribe the jury if the next jury juny acquits ana it never will convict I 1 presume brewster brewstor will want all the jury convicted of conspiracy to acquit he wants to scare this one all I 1 know nothing about spencer and helm helms except that spencer Is a government wj witness t it Is simply infamous to re men without a hearing and put pat a
